Rogers to say farewell at 7th Anniversary Sing

When I received a letter in late June from Betty and Leabron Rogers saying they planned to give up singing and traveling after their “7th Anniversary Sing,” it truly made me sad. The Rogers are some of the most consistent and sincere Southern Gospel artists that I know, but time and years of traveling busy roads and late nights have taken a toll.

They began singing in 1973 as a trio and added others over time. Except for about two years in the late ’80s, they have sung continuously — the last six to seven years as a duet. That’s 38 years “traveling and singing for Him,” primarily in the Carolinas and surrounding states. Both play instruments, but they have used recorded music mostly as a duo.

You can join the Rogers in their final concert beginning at 7 p.m. Saturday, Rock Springs Baptist Church, 1184 Rock Springs Church Road, Blacksburg, S.C. Their special guests are The Blairs from Nebo.

“Everyone is invited to come and stay for refreshments and fellowship afterwards,” Leabron wrote.
